ART IN LONDON
 Group
visits to exhibitions, galleries and salerooms.
Discussion groups. Ad hoc pop-up visits — an
individual member can advertise a date, time and
venue for a visit they intend to make in order to find out if any other members
would like to join them. |
| When One visit per month (plus planning meetings every three months and
occasional discussion groups and pop-up visits).
|
| Where We go anywhere in Greater London
(and sometimes more widely in the South East that
can be reached relatively easily by public
transport.) Suggestions from group members are
welcome.
|
This is an active group with over 100 members.
It should perhaps be titled 'Art in and around London' as we
don’t confine ourselves to London. Members themselves decide
where and when they would like to arrange a visit to an
exhibition. We usually meet before and after an exhibition
to chat and discuss it.
In the Summer of 2024 we visited Dorothy
Hepworth and Patricia Preece: An Untold Story at
Charleston Lewes and Michelangelo: The Last Decades
at the British Museum. In the Autumn we saw the amazing Van
Gogh: Poets and Lovers at the National Gallery — the day they brought in new
onerous security causing chaos. We also saw Grayson Perry’s
tapestries at Pitzhanger Manor (The Vanity of Small
Differences) and the Manor itself designed and built
by Sir John Soane. Also in November Monet and London:
Views of the Thames at the Courtauld and then in
December Haegue Yang: Leap Year at the Hayward
Gallery.
This year we visited The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture and Opulence at the V&A; Tirzah Garwood: Beyond Ravilious at the Dulwich Picture Gallery and Citrate Sasmita: Into Eternal Land at the Barbican.
Planned are visits to Goya to Impressionism at the Courtauld on 25 February; Drawing the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo Raphael and Titian at The King’s Gallery on 3 March; and Picasso: Print Maker at the British Museum on 25 March.
